Author Bio

Born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, I am currently a junior at NYU, majoring in Economics and minoring in Psychology and Business Studies. My favorite thing about living in the big apple is the fact that it is so international, I love meeting with people who have different stories and experiences to share. I have made friends from all over the world at NYU (to name a few; Germany, Indonesia, Turkey, Russia, Ecuador and India). I am obsessed with tea and hence love exploring tea cafes in the east village in my free time.

It’s a time when you witness throngs of people walking the streets of Manhattan with interesting costumes till 7 am and New Yorkers…
